General Printer Safety Instructions
- Be sure to
follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
- Use only the
power cord that comes with the printer. Use of another cord may
cause fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other
equipment.
- Make sure the AC power cord meets the relevant local safety
standard.
- Place the
printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily
unplugged.
- Avoid
plugging the printer into an outlet on the same circuit as a photo
copier or air control system that regularly switches on and off, or
on an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer.
- Do not let
the power cord become damaged or frayed.
- If you use
an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere
rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not
exceed the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere
rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed
the wall outlet's ampere rating.
- Always turn
off the printer using the power button, and wait until the power
light stops flashing before unplugging the printer or cutting off
power to the electrical outlet.
- Place the
printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in
all directions. It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at
an angle.
- Leave enough
space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully
ejected.
- Avoid
locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity,
shocks or vibrations, or dust.
- Do not place
the printer near a radiator or heating vent or in direct
sunlight.
- Leave enough
room around the printer for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or
cover openings in the case or insert objects through the
slots.
- Keep the
printer away from potential sources of electromagnetic
interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless
telephones.
- When
connecting the printer to a computer or other device with a cable,
ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector
has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the
wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the
cable.
- Do not touch
the flat white cable inside the printer.
- Do not move
the print head by hand; this may damage the printer.
- Do not spill liquid on the printer and do not handle the
printer with wet hands.
- Do not use
aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the
printer. Doing so may cause fire.
- Except as
specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to
service the printer yourself.
- Unplug the
printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if
liquid has entered the product; if the product has been dropped or
the case damaged; if the product does not operate normally or
exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
- If damage
occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified
electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace
them with fuses of the correct size and rating.
- Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet if you are not
going to use the printer for an extended period.
- Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head
is in the home (far right) position and the ink packs are
installed.
- When storing
or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side,
or turn it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.
